At the gala, the companies were awarded in the categories of company-university collaboration, start-ups and spin-offs. The recognition for the best Start-Up was awarded by representatives of the UPV and the GVA. In this category, the start-up Verázial Labs was awarded for its outstanding Verazial ID solution, which offers secure identification through biometric technology.
This recognition not only represents an acknowledgement of Verázial Labs’ work, but also reaffirms its commitment to security and accuracy in biometric identification. “This award motivates us to continue growing and it is a source of pride to represent the innovative ecosystem of Valenciana,” said Alejandra Castillo, Digital Marketing specialist at Verázial Labs.

Verázial Labs’ connection to the Polytechnic City of Innovation – UPV has been crucial for its development. Being in an environment surrounded by other start-ups and having the support of the university has allowed the company to position itself effectively in the market. In addition, access to young talent at the UPV has been a key factor in its continued growth.
Looking to the future, Verázial Labs plans to internationalize its biometric identification solutions and expand into new sectors both nationally and internationally and thus achieve its goals of continuing to innovate in the field of biometrics.
